Tottenham Hotspur ended their pre-season schedule on a positive note with a 2-1 win over Schalke.

Emmanuel Adebayor started in attack for the hosts , with Harry Kane and Roberto Soldado having to make do with places on the bench. Erik Lamela continued his run of games under Mauricio Pochettino with another start just off the front line.

Lamela and Christian Eriksen linked up nicely early on, but it was Lewis Holtby who created the opener against his old club . The midfielder crossed for Adebayor, who controlled before guiding a finish home.

Pochettino rang the changes at the interval, with Ben Davies, Kane, Soldado and Andros Townsend among those to enter the fray. The latter made an immediate impact, hitting a powerful shot that the Schalke goalkeeper spilt to Soldado, who nodded home.

The visitors pulled one back through former Tottenham man Kevin-Prince Boateng but could not find an equaliser despite late pressure.

Spurs get their Premier League campaign underway next Saturday, when they travel to Upton Park to play West Ham.
